Eighteenth Century and Romantic Studies Research Group

Description

The Eighteenth-Century and Romantic Studies Research Group is one of the largest and most distinguished groups of scholars in eighteenth-century studies in the UK and internationally.

The Group projects have been supported by well over a million pounds of external research grants from funders including the AHRC, British Academy, the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Leverhulme Trust.

Group members are active in the international eighteenth-century and Romantic research communities. Northumbria is involved in editing three journals: Bunyan Studies, The Shandean, and the Charles Lamb Bulletin. Three colleagues have served recently on the executive of several national and international societies, including the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ISECS). In 2019 Northumbria hosted the ISECS Early Career Seminar, an intensive workshop for a selected group of the most promising eighteenth-century scholars worldwide. The Group are also a lead institution for the The International John Bunyan Society. The research group works with a network of collaborators at overseas universities, including at Manitoba, McGill, Georgia State, Brest, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The group undertakes much public-facing work, with ongoing projects with the BBC and National Theatre Scotland an excellent example of the topicality of eighteenth-century studies.

The Group research is very diverse but can be grouped in the following ways:

• Medical Humanities
• Print Culture and Scholarly Editing
• Literature and the Environment
• Heritage, Arts and Theatre
• Being Human: Festival of the Humanities The Group welcomes enquiries from potential collaborators or future PhD students wishing to study with affiliated members.
